Xander sighed, taking the puzzles to stick by his bedside table. Laureth was doing his best, despite the circumstances and it wasn't fair on either of them for Xander to continually make things worse. He was starting to find it impossible, he was sure he was wearing a hole through the rug with his constant pacing. He felt like a caged animal.
Laureth still managed to make him smile though, and he snorted. "Love you too. I won't take any swan dives off the balcony if you're not right there behind me." Xander wondered if there might possibly benefits to be gained from all of this, maybe Laureth deserved a rest. The past year had been amazing, but non-stop, and Gertrude James had been nothing short of a menace. He'd promised, hadn't he? After the next heist, we'll head out into the country for a bit, see the sights. Let James cool off. But then it had become personal, a competition to prove that he could do one better than that ridiculous, self-righteous little bit--
"Laureth, have you been fighting again? We talked about this." He could recognise a broken tooth when he saw Laureth hiding one. "What happened to quiet? To 'why don't we just do nothing for awhile, Xander? We've never tried it before.'" He looked over to him, and sighed, and reached for Laureth's hand.. He felt suddenly powerless, it was difficult enough being stuck here, without knowing that he might be getting himself into all kinds of trouble. They were a team for a reason. "I .. are you hurt? If you're keeping anything more serious than a chipped tooth from me I swear to god."
We’re all hysterical & going nowhere together.
C’mon rapture. Let’s go bedazzling.
Nothing gets futured without its own spitshine
& I’m already not not not not not not miraculous.
